But proton is good for data.

You can't trust them, they will hand over your info quick to police
There really is no trustworthy email service. 😕
I use Tuta but I regret it. I wish I stayed with Proton for that bridge.
I haven't trusted Tuta since...
"That counterpart, according to Ortis, briefed him about a "storefront" that was being created to attract criminal targets to an online encryption service. A storefront, said Ortis, is a fake business or entity, either online or bricks-and-mortar, set up by police or intelligence agencies.
The plan, he said, was to have criminals use the storefront — an online end-to-end encryption service called Tutanota — to allow authorities to collect intelligence about them.
"So if targets begin to use that service, the agency that's collecting that information would be able to feed it back, that information, into the Five Eyes system, and then back into the RCMP," Ortis said."

To be fair, that's just an allegation without any proof he's willing to provide.
The evidence for #Tuta, on the other hand, is haa been right there and publicly auditable: their app's fully #opensource code.
It's even on #FDroid and you know how hard that can be. Look at #Nostr, still only one fully open source client.
Look all of them will because they are legally registered companies, their founders are publicly known, they cannot fight the dystopian surveillance state outside of the legal system and risk being thrown in jail for us.
For that, we need services/platforms whose founders and employees are anonymous but who earn our trust tbrough fully opensource, reproducible, auditable stack and through their behaviour, stances and activities.
The infrastructure needs to be resilient and censorship resistant as well not reliant on #dns.
